At the Blizzcon ’09 opening ceremonies today, the 4th Diablo III class was announced: The Monk.  So far details on this new class are scarce, as the only information that has been shown came in the form of a story and gameplay trailer. 

To find out more information about what little is known about the class, and to watch footage of the first gameplay video, hit the jump.

It looks like the Monk will be back to punching and kicking his way through thousands upon thousands of demons when Diablo III finally launches.  The  gameplay video, debuted today at the opening ceremonies, show this martial arts expert tearing monsters apart with his bear hands as he quickly jumps from one enemy to the next.  From what I could tell, many of his signature moves from Diablo 2 seem to be returning, but Blizzard is sure to include brand new ones to spice things up. 

To see The Monk in action check out the video posted below.  Make sure to stay tuned to Gamer Limit as Blizzcon ’09 continues and more details about this new class become available.
